[intel 965GM] Crash at X.org startup

[Sébastien Soilen]

Hello,

Everything is working perfectly.The intel driver was not the problem.

I did a mistake by changing the session manager configuration. 
Thanks for helping.

Regards,

Sebastien

This is generally a harmless message (in fact I thought we removed it...).

Hm, if the display is coming up the intel driver itself might be working ok,

but since you had to install some packages by hand to bring RH5 (I assuming 
RHEL5?) up to date enough to build the driver, I suspect something else may 
be going wrong, like the server failing to find fonts or one of the input 
drivers being incompatible with the server...
